TC, what matters to you—e.g. ABS, number of gears, etc? There's been plenty of discussion on this forum about whether 6 speed is better than 5 and ABS is better than not, and it all comes down to preference, really.
If it's the DLX you really want, I'm afraid you'll have to settle for second hand and you'll have to wait until one comes up and then pounce. From past observation here, you'll also have to be prepared to travel to get it or buy it sight unseen and freight it. The good news is that they do turn up and they're generally in good nick.
Good luck.

Personally I'm happy with 5 gears and 0 bears.

Agreed, although it's a bit early in the day for me.

Good pick up, popgun. TCB quoted my original post which I hadn't proof read carefully. It talked about bears. By the time I edited it he'd posted.

LOL Cormanus! It is beer time here, so I'll think I'll just go get one! A beer, not a bear

LOL. Have one for me, popgun. It's just after breakfast here so a bit early, even for me!

One more sublety - the DLX pipes won't discolor to that gold tint.

The '14 models also have additional features on the LCD instrument display including gear indicator and miles to empty, etc.
